| I have a 2000 chrysler 300m, purchased september 2000. this particular model allows both an automatic or a manual shift (i've never used the manual shift). on the date in question, i went to put the car into gear, and the gear shift sheared off in my hand. whereas no one was injured in this particular incident, i do believe that had the car been in motion it could have caused serious injury or death. one does not expect in a 2-1/2 year old car for the gear shift to come off. i believe that this is a serious safety issue. ts | |||

| The transmission rattles/grumbles at the speed between 40-50. a torque converter lockup problem. took the car back to the dealer 3 times, this thursday will take it back again. april 7, 2000 dropped it off overnight and they said they changed the tcm computer, but the tech didn't feel the problem until i took him out and he noticed immnediately. said that it was like that on all 300m cars. took him on a new 300m with 5 miles on the odo and he coudln't notice it then. he then said it was the vehicle shifting into overdrive and rpm'ing low causing that rumble. told him that was hogwash and to fix it or i'll invoke the lemon law. so, this thursday will take it back for another service. | |||
